Guides for people managers
Short, specific guides on the parts of managing that nobody trains you for. They are written to be useful whether or not you ever use LetEmily, and where the product is relevant it is mentioned once, at the end of the section it belongs to. Nothing here is a sales page wearing an article's clothes.
How to run effective 1:1 meetings
A practical guide to 1:1s: how often to hold them, who owns the agenda, what to talk about instead of status, and the failure modes that make them feel pointless.
What to keep track of about the people you manage
A concrete list of what is worth recording about each person you manage, what to leave out, and how to keep the record short enough that you actually maintain it.

A step-by-step weekly review for people managers: five passes, ten minutes, and the specific prompts that surface what individual 1:1s miss.
Why people stop raising problems with their manager
People stop escalating long before they stop caring. The specific manager behaviours that teach a team to stay quiet, and what re-opens the channel.
